There is an issue surrounding remap reloading when includes and plugin
config files are used.  These will not trigger a remap reload on their
own. I think at this point everyone uses their external management
tools to issue a touch to the remap file to trigger a reload to
happen, but it's a bit of a work-around.

I'm proposing adding an API that will allow plugins to register their
config files to be monitored in the same way that remap and records
are currently monitored.  When a traffic_ctl config reload is issued,
if one of these files has changed that can also trigger a remap
reload.

I have a POC going currently where I can add an arbitrary file to
trigger the reload but got to the point of looking at the API so
figured I would send out a list message for any ideas/concerns/etc
